@BeAware Ratio means nothing. It’s not like one have to follow back every single follower.

@BeAware Confusing = not exactly like Twitter.

Watching System Crafters’ “Craft your system with GNU Guix” playlist, one video a day (or so). And while I’m not planning moving away from Debian any time soon, it’s interesting, even if it takes a bit more time :blobcatcoffee: Too bad I don’t have another PC to play with it.

@BeAware The only comment of his there I see is:

> Harassment is a complex multi-faceted issue that we're addressing on multiple ends, but filtering notifications from specific sources is something that's been live for a couple months on mastodon.social and in the nightlies.

Which state they are working on stuff to address it. How is that killing Fediverse or whatever? If the complain is that something specific is not available exactly this moment, well, that’s open‐source 🤷 People like to complain that Eugen doesn’t immediately do what they demand a bit too much.

@BeAware I don’t think Mastodon against it per se? But I don’t think they have that many people, and there are a lot of things to work on.

And what is and isn’t a slur is often context‐dependent, which is not helping…

@BeAware Such as? I don’t think “verbally” attacking a developer will do any help, TBH.

Meanwhile KDE…

> From 6.2 onwards, Plasma itself will show a system notification asking for a donation once per year, in December…
> It’s implemented as a KDE Daemon (KDED) module, which allows users and distributors to permanently disable it if they like. You can also disable just the popup on System Settings’ Notifications page, accessible from the configure button in the notification’s header.

@BeAware “As soon as it works, no one calls it AI anymore.”

@BeAware People are weird…

@BeAware Asterism shows a Fedi after Defederation wars… :blobcattilt:

@BeAware I gave up on those 2 tags and stopped reading them. Hopefully, ActivityPub will not meet the same fate… *cough*

@BeAware Better how? 🤔

@BeAware Fediverse is a bit too trigger happy at times.

@Gargron Normal artist getting mass-reported as AI in 3, 2, 1…

@daniel This is starting to look quite intentional, TBH.

@drq They *are* fandoms.

@davidrevoy So, nothing changed :blobcatthink:

Have mixed feelings on the whole Unity thing. Unity is kinda a polished turd, but a lot of good and great games where created and brought to Linux with it. There is Godot, but I wonder how many developers will jump towards a next Windows-only engine of the decade instead, whatever it might be.
